It's shameful that they blame Amazon for conversion issues with Send To Kindle, which handles ePub from other sources very well. They should clean up their code and verify themselves with Kindle Previewer. Once they do it for one, they can update everything and everybody will be happy, they can stop wasting their time generating AZW3 and thumbnails.

AZW3 just looks comparatively bad IMO, you can no longer add these to your Kindle (cloud) library, and one might ask how they are creating AZW3, presumably that also includes their useless code.
I don't understand why they feel the need to use code that's too convoluted and doesn't work in a lot of cases. The format for these eBooks is very simple. They could make one very simple ePub 3. That would work for most ePub. Then that could be the source for other formats. Problem solved.

I even told them what they needed to do so their ePub worked with RMSDK on a Kobo and they refused to fix it. It was a very simple fix to remove a media query they didn't need.
